    Yup, I'm psyched too. Be interesting to see if they've made changes to the update process.

    Bit Defender is without a doubt one of the top AVs. I hope that they either get it good enough so that it takes care of trojans and such as good as KAV, and the same with spyware. If that is the case it will be a keeper. If not I hope it is more compatible with ATs and ASs than V9.

    Those incompatibilities caused me to ditch it.

    Well judging by Jotti screens it does an excellent job. I hardly ever see it miss anything (same by throwing stuff i find at it). They've added rootkit detection and HTTP scanning in v10 too. Certanly very interesting. I wonder if they did anything about sluggish scanning reported by some ppl.

    actually i have never tested this software before, but i heard the resourcess was not so good in vers:9 and i think its weird that they did not mention something about Resourcess in this new vers:10?

    Prob not as bad as Nortons :D I used BD 9 Pro on a PII PC and never had any hickups so I'm sure it will work well with your AMD and P4 beasts.

    I loved BD and highly reccomend it but yet again I also use NOD32 and love that as well, probably one of the most lightest on resources.

    But maybe they worked to have less resourcess in this vers:10 ?
    does anyone know something about it? or emailed them and asked about Resourcess?

    registered now... They have no NOD32 listed on: "Which Internet Protection software are u using now? " :(

    Hope the new BD 10 will be an important improvement. Nice to hear they have HTTP scanning.

    I'll try it, but BitDefender is always so slow for my machine, both on-demand and on-access scanning, hope HTTP scanner will not make it even tooo slow for me. :rolleyes:

    someone correct me if i am wrong. the http-scan can not slow down your machine, it can only slow down while you surfing on Internet, Firefox or whatever you use!
    And the big question is about resourcess if they did something about it. anyone that has more information?

    I believe it can change of PC to PC...
    F-Secure is impossible in my computer. Slow down AND brake sometimes.
    BitDefender is very light.
    NOD32 very light too.
    Kaspersky slow down too but less than F-Secure for example...

    I don't understand it sometimes...

    well maybe bitdefender is not slowing down the machine so much, but its not so light eather.
    i hope they have fixed in this new beta a little lighter AV.
    and what does this mean "improvements to the proactive detection module"
    i thought that they are using hive and not proactive detection ?

    I wonder what changes they'll make to engine and interface.
    That damn BD9 restarting on every (hourly!) update was annoying like hell.

    That is exactly what prompted my choice not to purchase the AV @ version 9.

    I think they mean improvement to the Hive, maybe to give it another name.
    That's the same question a mod at the <snip> posted. :rolleyes:
    I'm also curious about the resources and of course the improvements.
    Will give it a testrun on release. :cool:
